Is Leeds United vs Huddersfield Town on TV? Date, early kick-off time and streaming details

Leeds United return to Elland Road for the first time since the recent international break this weekend with local visitors in Huddersfield Town. Daniel Farke's side saw a run of three wins on the bounce end last weekend with a disappointing 1-0 defeat at the hands of Stoke City at the bet365 Stadium. The Whites still sit in third place in the Championship but are nine points behind Ipswich in the automatic promotion slots at this early stage of the season.

It's a different story for Huddersfield Town who have won just one of their last seven Championship fixtures and teeter above the relegation zone in 21st place. Here's how to follow this weekend's Championship action online.
